A Strange Walk

Last night Lucas and I went for a walk doing a letter box drop for this

and look what we came home with

He is obviously someones pet he was in the middle of the road with the ants worrying him.I didn't want him to be run over so he came home with us.We got some very strange looks............ it's not your usual pet to take for a walk.

I put a sign up on a tree near where we found him hoping to find his owners, and one in the local deli.

look at his lovely shell markings

if no one claims him I will ring the zoo or animal welfare orif any of you Adelaide bloggers would like a pet turtle let me know.I would love to keep him but he would cause chaos in my back yard pond and Molly would spend every hour of the day trying to kill him.

I don't think he would stop until he was king of the pond. I've never heard of a turtle escaping before, but anything is possible. One wonders how far from home they could get? Good luck finding the original owners.
